Birthday Wishes for Colleagues: Go beyond the basic professional etiquette and do something more than just a measly greeting card on your colleague’s birthday. Write a sweet quote on a note and put it on your colleague’s desk before he or she gets into office in the morning. The message should be quite clear – letting your co-workers know that you value their support, ideas, help, team spirit and guidance in your everyday work life. If your relationship has bloomed into a strong friendship, go the extra mile with cute posts on Facebook. Send a barrage of funny texts and share heaps of stuff on Pinterest to show that you really care. Remember, that in the long run it pays to build bridges and make friends at the workplace.
